Machine-learning for osteoarthritis research (2019)
Journal Article
Kluzek, S., & Mattei, T. (2019). Machine-learning for osteoarthritis research. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 27(7), 977-978. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2019.04.005

Machine learning (ML) algorithms have the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being specifically directed. There has been great optimism that such techniques may improve scientific biomedical research in several fields1... Read More about Machine-learning for osteoarthritis research.

Porous phosphate-based glass microspheres show biocompatibility, tissue infiltration and osteogenic onset in an ovine bone defect model (2019)
Journal Article
McLaren, J. S., Macri-Pellizzeri, L., Zakir Hossain, K. M., Patel, U., Grant, D. M., Scammell, B. E., Ahmed, I., & Sottile, V. (2019). Porous phosphate-based glass microspheres show biocompatibility, tissue infiltration and osteogenic onset in an ovine bone defect model. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 11(17), 15436–15446. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b04603

Phosphate-based glasses (PBG) are bioactive and fully degradable materials with tailorable degradation rates. PBGs can be produced as porous microspheres through a single-step process, using changes in their formulation and geometry to produce varyin...

Trajectories of pain predict disabilities affecting daily living in arthritis (2019)
Journal Article
James, R. J., Walsh, D. A., & Ferguson, E. (2019). Trajectories of pain predict disabilities affecting daily living in arthritis. British Journal of Health Psychology, 24(3), 465-496. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.12364

Purpose: To examine the interplay between pain and disability in arthritis when adjusting for patient heterogeneity in pain progression. There is consistent evidence to suggest that people experience osteoarthritis heterogeneously, with subgroups of...
